Definitions
- the field of the present invention is pressure-sensitive touch screens.
- touch screens for use with finger or stylus touch user inputs. These devices range from small screen devices such as mobile phones and car entertainment systems, to mid-size screen devices such as notebook computers, to large screen devices such as check-in stations at airports.
- touch screens are generally limited to user input in the form of finger or stylus taps, and sweep gestures.
- Pressure-sensitive displays that enable detecting an amount of pressure applied to the screen afford additional possibilities for user interfaces.
- aspects of the present invention relate to user interfaces for touch screens that detect both a touch location and an amount of pressure applied to the screen.
- touch screens that implement these user interfaces and, in one embodiment, to touch screens that implement both a touch sensor and a pressure sensor using an array of light emitters and light receivers.
- a light-based touch screen that discriminates between hard touches and soft touches.
- a rigidly mounted screen is surrounded by emitters and receivers.
- a hard touch is
- a screen is flexibly mounted in a housing surrounded by rigidly mounted emitters and receivers. The pressure of the touch lowers the screen into the housing, resulting in an increase in detected light at a plurality of the receivers. Different amounts of pressure correspond to differences in the increased amounts of detected light.
- a touch screen including a housing, a display mounted in the housing, a touch sensor, mounted in the housing and connected to the display, for identifying an object that is gliding along an upper surface of the display, a pressure sensor, mounted in the housing and connected to the display, for determining that pressure is being applied to the display, and a processor, mounted in the housing and connected to the touch and pressure sensors and to the display, for applying a first scroll command to an image rendered on the display in response to the touch sensor identifying the object gliding along the upper surface of the display, and for applying a second scroll command to the image in response to the pressure sensor determining that pressure is being applied to the display.
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of an electronic device that includes a touch sensitive and pressure sensitive display, cause the processor to enable a user interface of the electronic device, by which a glide gesture along the display and an amount of pressure applied to the display both generate the same user interface command.
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of an electronic device that includes a touch sensitive and pressure sensitive display, cause the processor to enable a user interface of the device, by which an image rendered on the display is zoomed in response to pressure being applied to the display, whereby the zoom is performed such that the location within the image at which the pressure is first applied is the center of the zoomed image.

- aspects of the present invention relate to pressure-sensitive touch screens and touch surfaces.
- touch screen is used as a generic term to refer to touch sensitive surfaces that may or may not include an electronic display.
- touch screen as used herein includes inter alia a mouse touchpad as included in many laptop computers, and the cover of a handheld electronic device.
- optical touch screen is used as a generic term to refer to light-based touch screens, including inter alia screens that detect a touch based on the difference between an expected light intensity and a detected light intensity, where the detected light intensity may be greater than or less than the expected light intensity.
- screen glass is used as a generic term to refer to a transparent screen surface. The screen may be constructed inter alia from glass, or from a non-glass material including inter alia crystal, acrylic and plastic. In some embodiments of the present invention, the screen allows near- infrared light to pass through, but is otherwise non-transparent.
- emitter is used as a generic term to refer to a light emitting element, including inter alia a light-emitting diode (LED), and the output end of a fiber optic or tubular light guide that outputs light into a lens or reflector that directs the light over a display surface.
- LED light-emitting diode
- the term "receiver” is used as a generic term to refer to a light detecting element, including inter alia a photo diode (PD), and the input end of a fiber optic or tubular light guide that receives light beams that traversed a display surface and directs them to a light detecting element or to an image sensor, the image sensor being inter alia a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor.
- CMOS complementary metal oxide semiconductor
- a light- based touch screen includes one or more emitters, including inter alia infra-red or near infra-red light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and a plurality of receivers, including inter alia photo diodes (PDs), arranged along the perimeter surrounding the touch screen or touch surface.
- the emitters project light substantially parallel to the screen surface, and this light is detected by the receivers.
- a pointer such as a finger or a stylus, placed over a portion of the screen blocks some of the light beams, and
- each emitter and receiver has I/O connectors, and signals are transmitted to specify which emitters and which receivers are activated.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of a touch screen 800 having 16 emitters 200 and 16 receivers 300, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- Emitters 200 emit infrared or near infra-red light beams across the top of the touch screen, which are detected by corresponding receivers 300 that are directly opposite respective emitters 200.
- a pointer touches touch screen 800 it blocks light from reaching some of receivers 300.
- the pointer's location can be determined.
- Embodiments of the present invention detect an amount of pressure applied to a touch sensitive surface during a touch operation. Detecting pressure enables discrimination between a light touch and a hard press, and is useful for user interfaces that associate separate actions to a touch and a press. E.g., a user may select a button or icon by touching it, and activate the function associated with the button or icon by pressing on it. Such a user interface is described in applicants' co-pending U.S. Application No. 12/486,033, entitled USER INTERFACE FOR MOBILE COMPUTER UNIT.
- Touch sensor and pressure sensor inputs to a central processing unit enable the processing unit to distinguish between no-pressure touch gestures and touch gestures that apply pressure. This allows the processing unit to provide the standard suite of tap and sweep gestures for non-pressure touches, and an additional suite of user inputs when a degree of downward pressure is applied to a screen surface.
- a pressure gesture is used to activate a zoom command; namely, a user presses on an image displayed on a screen in order to enlarge the image.
- the zoom command is generally a smooth zoom, which gradually increases the zoom factor over time, while the screen is being pressed.
- the pressure sensor distinguishes multiple levels of applied pressure, and the rate at which the zoom factor increases corresponds to the amount of detected pressure, whereby greater pressure corresponds to a faster rate of increase.
- FIG.2 is a simplified flowchart of a method to activate a zoom function on a pressure-sensitive touch screen, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- zoom commands such as commands activated by a pinch or spread gesture, zoom in on the center of a displayed image portion.
- a user is required to pan the image so as to bring its center to a desired location, and then perform a zoom command.
- FIG.53 is a simplified illustration of activation of a zoom function on a pressure-sensitive touch screen, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG.53 shows two images of a pressure-sensitive touch screen 800, before and after a zoom operation is performed.
- touch screen 800 displays an airplane in the upper right corner of the screen.
- a finger 900 is shown applying downward pressure on touch screen 800, at the location of the airplane, to activate a zoom function.
- Touch screen 800 detects the location of finger 900, and centers the zoomed image at that location.
- the airplane is at the center of touch screen 800.
- Finger 900 remains at its original location throughout the zoom.
- the pressure sensor controls parameters of a scroll command.
- a scroll command When display of a document or other object extends beyond the limits of touch screen 800, a portion of the document or object is displayed, and the users sweeps a finger along the vertical dimension of the screen in order to scroll the document or object up or down.
- the scroll continues even when the user's finger has reached the upper or lower edge of the screen, as long as contact with the screen is maintained.
- the speed of scrolling is determined based on the amount of pressed applied by the finger to touch screen 800, whereby a greater pressure on the screen corresponds to a faster scroll rate.
- the user controls the scrolling speed by adjusting the amount of pressure applied by the finger on touch screen 800.
- the user reduces the scrolling speed by applying more pressure on the screen.
- navigating a document is intuitive; namely, the user begins scrolling by maintaining contact with touch screen 800 after a vertical scroll gesture, and then applies pressure to the screen to reduce scrolling speed. It is often easier for a user to increase pressure than to decrease pressure.
- FIG.4 is simplified flowchart of a method to activate a scroll function on a pressure-sensitive touch screen, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- a user scrolls a document or other object by sweeping a finger vertically along the touch screen.
- a determination is made whether the finger has reached an edge of the touch screen. If so, then at operation 1023 a further determination is made whether the touch is still maintained. If not, the method exits. Otherwise, the current level of pressure being applied to the screen is detected, and compared with the level of pressure previously applied to the screen. If it is determined at operation 1024 that the current pressure level is greater than the previous pressure level, then at operation 1025 the scrolling speed is decreased and the method returns to operation 1023.
- a touch enabled device includes a base plane, such as a PCB, a light guide frame rigidly mounted on the base plane, and a resilient member attached to the base plane to suspend or "float" a non-rigidly mounted touch screen inside the light guide frame.
- a press on the touch screen deflects the floating touch screen along a z-axis, exposing more of the light guide frame.
- a light guide frame reflector which directs light over the screen as described hereinabove, is formed so that the exposure allows more light to traverse the screen. In this way, when a hard press on the screen occurs, many of the receivers detect a sudden increase in detected light.
- detection of a hard press may be conditioned upon a touch being detected at the same time, thus preventing false detection of a hard press due to a sudden increase in ambient light.
- the resilient member returns the screen to its original position within the light guide frame.
- FIGS. 5 - 8 are illustrations of a touch screen 800 that detects occurrence of a hard press, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 5 shows touch screen 800 in rest position, screen 800 being supported by resilient supporting members 841 and 842 which are mounted on a printed circuit board 700 to create a flex air gap 843.
- FIG. 5 shows two light guides, 518 and 519, one on either side of screen 800, for directing light 100 from an emitter 200 over screen 800 to a receiver 300. Only a small upper portion of each light guide 518 and 519 extends above screen 800.
- Receiver 300 communicates detected light intensities to a calculating unit 770.
- FIG. 6 shows a finger 900 pressing down on the screen, causing members 841 and 842 to compress and to narrow flex air gap 843.
- a larger portion of light guides 518 and 519 are exposed above screen 800, thus allowing (a) more light 100 from emitter 200 to traverse screen 800 and be detected by receiver 300, and (b) more ambient light 101 to reach receiver 300.
- either or both of these increases in detected light are used to indicate a hard press.
- the amount of downward pressure applied is determined based on the amount of additional detected light, thus enabling discrimination between more hard and less hard touches.
- the light guide frame includes protruding lips 520 and 521, shown in FIG. 7, that extend over the edges of screen 800, to counter balance the upward force of resilient members 841 and 842 when no downward pressure is applied to screen 800.
- Resilient members 841 and 842 may comprise inter alia a flexible mounting material, a torsion spring, an elastic polymer body, or a hydraulic suspension system.
- FIG. 8 shows emitters 200, receivers 300 coupled with calculating unit 770, and resilient members 841 and 842 arranged on a single PCB 700.
- the touch screen is not displaceable relative to the frame.
- the screen flexes or bends somewhat in response to a hard press.
- the bending of the screen causes a sudden increase in detected light in many of the receivers, indicating a hard press on the screen.
- detection of a hard press may be conditioned upon a touch also being detected at the same time, thus preventing false detection of a hard press in response to trauma to the device.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are bar charts showing increase in light detected, when pressure is applied to a rigidly mounted 7-inch LCD screen, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the bar charts show the amount of light detected from each emitter along one edge of the screen when a soft touch occurs (FIG. 9), and when a hard touch occurs (FIG. 10) .
- the light emitters and light receivers are shift-aligned, so that light from each emitter is detected by two receivers. As such, two bars are shown for each emitter, indicating the light detected by each of the two receivers. Both bars indicate that a touch is detected at receivers opposite LED 4, where no light is detected.
- the bar charts show that more light is detected from neighboring emitters in the case of a hard touch, than in the case of a soft touch.
- the present invention has broad application to electronic devices with touch sensitive screens, including small-size, mid-size and large-size screens.
- Such devices include inter alia computers, home entertainment systems, car entertainment systems, security systems, PDAs, cell phones, electronic games and toys, digital photo frames, digital musical
